What’s sprouting in your life that you haven’t noticed?



I hate to admit that I didn’t know these sweet potatoes were growing. Ugh! When I found them, they looked like a forgotten science experiment—except for the fact that my kids are grown and gone.

Makes me wonder what other neglected “roots” are sprouting in my life.

            Bitterness?     Envy?     Resentment?

Lord, please shine the spotlight of your Spirit in my heart, and show me what needs to go.

…lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble … —Hebrews 12:15 (NKJ)

    Oh, so easy to do. We're all so busy, rushing from one thing to another, pushing things off 'til we forget they were ever there...until they bloom and spread and infest and...

    Thanks for the reminder to keep things simple and deal with them as they come...not always easy, but definitely always best!

    A good thought...though maybe just a little uncomfortable. :-( Thanks for sharing it.
